This 1970 Dodge Charger is called “Punishment” and was built by Salvaggio Auto Design in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The goal was to take the timeless Charger design and update some of the areas like the front grill area while improving the performance with modern technology. <\/p>\n

Salvaggio spent a lot of time in body mofications. They fabricated custom floors, inner Lexan fenders, firewall, radiator support, rear tubs, cowl, truck floor, and fitting 2010 Challenger tail lights in back. Everything is covered in a Lamborghini metallic charcoal paint called Grigio Estoque. The finishing touches were custom carbon fiber bumpers and exhaust tips.<\/p>\n
